The Truth!

kukla_tkoOk, time for me to 'fess up.
Here are the answers from the earlier post in which I listed ten statements, and you were supposed to guess fact from fiction.
1. I have an extra nipple, which grows a single dark hair from the center.
True. It's a hereditary trait, my brothers both have this too. One of them actually has TWO vestigial nipples. I think it's kind of cool. I'd have been hanged for it a few hundred years ago, though.
2. I was actually born with a tail, and it was removed without both of my parents' permission.
False. I WISH this one was true, or at least the "born with a tail" part of it. Tails are cool.
3. I have been certified sane by a professional psychiatrist.
True. That was after five years of counseling, though.
4. I lost my virginity my first year at college, in my boyfriend's apartment during a carefully planned ceremony.
False, but partly true. It was that year, but in my dorm room, no ceremony. It was definitely my choice.
5. My first cat's name was Newton.
Ah... this one is a trick question. Or rather, a trick answer. Do you count Newton as my first cat? He's the first cat I took personal responsibility for. He's the first cat that lived in my home with me and didn't belong to a housemate. But I only had him for a few months before he became my mother's cat and he lives with her as HER cat now.
So, one could say that Mehetabel is my FIRST cat. (That's her in my icon, BTW.)
6. I have never caught chicken pox.
False. I have had Chicken Pox. Mild case, so I have no desire to expose myself to it.
7. The smell of certain flowers reminds me of funerals.
Not at all. Floral scents remind me of weddings, my grandmother, and sometimes detergents. Never funerals, oddly enough. In fact, I can remember being at a funeral once and thinking, "Why does it smell like a wedding in here? Oh. Right."
8. I would eat a friend if it were that friend's dying wish.
True. I'm enough of a Heinlein girl for that. I grok "grok".
9. The only part of a marriage ceremony that I have never played was the bride.
False. I have been a bridesmaid, a flower girl, and Prime Attendant (Best Thing Of Honor) but never the actual maid of honor, or the celebrant. (I could marry a couple if they wished me to. I am a minister in the ULC. Who isn't?) I have never played the bride, either.
10. I once choked up at an audition so badly that I cried and didn't get my shot in front of the director.
True. I was probably about five years old. Maybe six. It was my first real audition and I had absolutely no frame of reference for an audition, and my mother failed to prepare me for the logistics of it. I was completely unprepared for the procedure of the thing (and in retrospect, it was a very disorganized audition.) I really wanted to be in the play. It was a community theater's presentation of The Wizard Of Oz. My monologue was the "Lone Ranger" Bill Cosby routine. I think that my musical piece (with no sheet music for the pianist, mind you) was either "The Magic Store" from The Muppet Movie or "Children One And All" by Mary Travers.
It's kind of a shame that I cried and went home. I might have impressed them and then my acting career would look significantly different than it is now.
